Des Res...

Spring has yet to appear, although we did see the sunshine for one day last week, so my small suburban garden remains a gloomy and unexciting place right now. There are a few yellow primulas out, and the buddleia are in bud, but there’s not much else to write home about (so to speak).

In the absence of plant-life I ordered a fancy new bird box for £5 on Ebay, which has now arrived and is adorning a brick wall awaiting it’s first tenants. Past experience has shown me that birds are mostly uninterested in visiting my garden – despite the vast sums of money I regularly invest in seeds, fat-balls and various other treats – but I live in hope that one pair of tiny feathered friends will find my new garden ornament irresistible this spring, and choose to make it their home.

Time will tell…
